Best cheap or budget laptop with a dedicated GPU (nvidia only)

[ruchir_ezio]

Recently I've been looking up for a laptop for light gaming like rocket league and mild video editing. The configuration that I'm looking for is i5 5200u, 8gb ram, 1tb HDD and a 4gb gt940 GPU. What would be the best laptop for such multimedia usage? Would it be better to buy a 4th gen HQ i5 rather than 5th gen U i5?

budget? its might be hard to find 4th gen or even 5th gen at this point, since they'll be discontinued in favor of a 6th gen processor, if anything for the marketing

 

anyways, i found this that matches your specs for $519 (if you're in the us anyways)

Both are terrible. Acer's build quality and customer support are awful. Avoid them at all costs. What is your budget?

My budget is 65,000 rupees that's around 950$ but here in India laptops are a bit more expensive so accordingly my budget is 750-800$

The 7559 at 1300$? You sure you aren't looking at an expensive spec? Talking the lowest end version - i5 6300HQ + 1TB HDD + 8GB RAM

Apparently he's right. The Indian Dell store shows the cheapest Dell 7559 at "Online Price: Rs.83,290.00, which is ~1240USD.

Nothing that fits your needs. You WANT a quad-core CPU that is not locked to 15W (ULV crap) so you can either

A - save up
B - buy used

Well, the build is better than the Acer, the cooling is also better. CPU should be similar, maybe a bit better. GPU is meh though - R7 M360 is around the same as a 840M.

Hey how about lenovo z51? 

i5 5200u

8gigs ram

1tb HDD (which I'd later swap with ssd)

And AMD radeon r9m375.

R9 M375 is quite a bit faster than a 940M. So for gaming this will be much better than the Acer

there wont be any over heating issues with the amd card right? see currently im using a lenovo z580

2nd gen i3

4 gigs ram

nvidia gt630 

120 gb ssd.

so ever since ive installed ssd its been decent enough for 720 and 1080 videos. so i suppose that the same amount of usage should be crisp on the z51

it shouldn't. If the professional review is to be believed, it runs quite cool. - http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Z51-70-Radeon-R9-M375-Notebook-Review.151560.0.html

 

About 81*C max
